Redistricting Listening Session: City of Rochester Wards 5 & 6

Olmsted County and Rochester residents are invited and encouraged to take part in the 2022 redistricting process. This includes participating in upcoming virtual listening sessions, which began on December 14, 2021. 

Redistricting listening sessions are an opportunity for residents to share their thoughts and ideas on the redistricting process, as well as lived experiences in communities of interest. Residents are able to ask questions during the listening sessions, but these are not intended to be question and answer sessions. If questions are raised, answers will be provided on the city and county redistricting websites. All listening session information will be gathered and considered by Olmsted County and the City of Rochester prior to the redrawing of electoral boundaries.

Listening session dates/times

Redistricting listening sessions will be held virtually via Zoom. Community members only need to register if they wish to sign up for a speaking slot. Each participant will have three minutes to speak. Recordings of the listening sessions will be made available on the City of Rochester redistricting website.
